The warm glow of the fireplace flickered across the common room as you positioned your phone on the table, ensuring it captured the perfect angle. The T/kTok trend had been on your mind all day, and now, with Mattheo lounging lazily beside you, you decided it was the perfect time to rope him in.

You hit record, turning to Mattheo with a mischievous grin, you called out dramatically, "Mr. Todd!"

Mattheo glanced at you, immediately catching the shift in your tone. His hazel eyes sparkled with mischief, and he smirked, clearly intrigued. "What is that?"

You leaned closer, keeping up the act, "It’s a trend. Have a little—"

Before you could finish the line, Mattheo leaned back, dodging you entirely. His grin widened, and he raised an eyebrow at you.

"Mattheo!" you groaned. "You're ruining it!"

He chuckled, throwing his arm over the back of the sofa. "You didn’t say I had to make it easy," he quipped, glancing briefly at your phone before winking at you.

Determined now, you leaned in again, inching closer. "Stop dodging and let me finish!"

But Mattheo wasn’t done playing. He leaned back even farther, so dramatically that he almost tipped off the sofa, his laughter contagious. "You’ve got to earn it, love," he tease.

The camera caught your exasperated huff as you crossed your arms. "Fine, you want to play games?" you muttered.

Mattheo finally relented, straightening up and giving you a mock pout, his lips pushed out and his arms crossed like an impatient child. "Alright, here’s your chance. Fix it, then."

Without hesitation, you leaned in, capturing his lips in a quick, triumphant kiss.

When you pulled back, you turned to the camera with a victorious smile, while Mattheo blinked at you, his pout replaced by his signature cheeky grin.

As the group groaned in mock disapproval and tossed pillows your way, you grabbed your phone, stopped the recording, and grinned at the video. It was perfect—Mattheo’s antics, the dramatic dodging, and finally, the sweet kiss that made your heart flutter.
